Unofficial Bluetooth Stack "Upgrade" For iMate PDA

Check out this link from PocketPCThoughts.com for a new Bluetooth patch from Broadcom for the PDA2K...
Fellow MVP Helio Diamant, of Pocket PC Freak, has gotten a fantastic little nugget for iMate PDA2k owners:
Quote:
A friend of mine has just come back from CES and brought with him a little CAB file that was being given by the guys from Broadcom there. They told him we can publish and offer for download, so I am putting it here to you guys too.
When installed, this CAB adds the following profiles to the Broadcom BT stack in the PDA2K:
1. High-Quality Audio
2. Keyboard
This means that those of you holding stereo headsets can now connect them to PDA2k and here music, navigation instructions, etc from the device. As well, Bluetooth Keyboards are supposed to work well.
Early reports suggest it works with a number of devices, including both HTC Blue Angel and HTC Harrier units; it might work with other Broadcom-based (i.e., Widcomm) Bluetooth units, but there's no guarantee. If you're interested in playing "with it, you can download the CAB here. Note: This update is unofficial and unsupported; install it at your own risk, and do a backup first! As far as I know, it's a RAM update, but I haven't tried it. Good luck if you do. "

Noviur,
On which device did you try ? i-Mate PDA2k?
cheers,
bins

install seems not to work
Just tried the cab install (both from my SD card and Program Files location - after resets), but nothing seems to have changed on my i-Mate PDA2k with Rom 1.22.162 WWE.
1. No BT Services were added (still only File Transfer, InformationExchange, Serial Port, Personal Network Server, Dial-up BNetworking Server, Hands-Free),
2. No update seems to have happened, all module versions remained at 1.0.0.3500 (except obviously the BTPluginManagerCE.exe [1.0.0.1]),
3. Despite the dialog box telling it is "writing information for Remove Programs" it can not be found back in the Remove Programs.
Any clues?
cheers,
bins
P.S. Just in case, and like Noviur, reverted with Sprite Backup

The version information in the package suggests 1.6.0.0600
did you install the 1.6.0.0600 upgrade before u installed this?

i installed it.. the new 2 profiles show up but the audio one doesnt work ..
i have pda2k
any help???

I installed the new patch on an SX-66. It doesn't upgrade the Bluetooth stack or provide new services. But it does add 2 new profiles. One for a Stereo audio headset (this won't work with a Hands free device since the profile doesn't include support for a MIC.) and one for a keyboard.
I also switched my Bluetooth stack to the 1.6 version posted here. This seems to be a stack based on Widcom as opposed to Microsoft. Although my device worked and seemed to pair faster my Handsfree device didn't come on when dialing the phone. So I switched back.

Remco, thx, installed the Broadcom 1.6.0.600 cab-file first and afterwards installed the PDA2k cab-file.
Update seems to have worked and indeed have the two new client profiles.
Will check in the store tomorrow if the HQ audio works indeed and if no other nuisances arise.
Will keep you in the loop.
cheers,
bins

Installed it on my Qtek9090 with rom 1.22.00/1.06.00/1337.38/1.22.556
I was able to bond my Logitech DiNovo keyboard to the PDA and use it !
It works very well, very cool to be able to type on a full size keyboard on your PDA.
I don't own a BT audio headset, so i wasn't able to test that.
All other devices like my GPS mouse, Bluetrek G2 headset etc. seem to work ok as they did before.

nop, it was I-Mate PPC. I new it is for PDA2K, but wanted to try it
Previously I installed Widcom BT 1.6.
No luck for me ... for now at least

Did it answer calls through the b/t headset? Mine wouldn't connect to the headset for outgoing or incoming calls. Also if it does work,which PDA2K cab did you use?
Thanks

Here's the file
I tried it on my HTC Himalaya. It wouldn't play any sound, not even callers voice. I had to hard reset the unit.
Good luck

Hi,
I just got my HP bluetooth headphones... and I absolutely love them!!!. The range is ok... not great, but enough to be considered fully usable. It crackles if there is some physical resistance between the MDAIII and the headphones, but other than that, they are awesome...
Anyone that is considering to get them, I highly recommend it. But be sure to have a 3500 bluetooth stack (with the extensions posted here of course) and Radio 1.06.02 (I am not sure whether 00 would do equally, but I recommend 02).
Treo

Me too. Can someone email me a copy of this file?

Thanks!

Blue Angel - A2DP Bluetooth

Hi all
I have got Blue Angel:
ROM: 1.42.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
BT: 3900
Last week I upgraded to the T-Movbile 1.42 Rom. I then installed the A2DP profile patch and was amazed that my Omiz OMS600 headphones were actually working using the high quality audio profile, and they were working very well.
The other day I did a hard reset to sort out a few things and left it at that. Later on when I came to reinstall my A2DP it wasn't working, nor was using the headphones as just a normal headset. I tried all sorts, including downgrading my ROM because at that point I was wondering whether or not it was actually on a previous version that I had it working.
Anyway... eventually I decided it was the headphones that had an error so emailed Omiz who were very helpful and sent me the download for their firmware flashing utility. This upgraded the ROM of my headphones from 1.06 to 1.25. I can now pair my headphones as a headset but not as High Quality Audio. I can get it to add a High Quality Audio shortcut in BT manager but when it trys to connect it says: "connection failed". Before it was also saying "service unavailable on device" or somthing similar.
Any assistance would be good.
Thanks a lot.

A2DP & WM5
Hi there,
I got the patch from: ftp://xda:[email protected] Upgrades/BT profiles for build 3500/
But I'm not sure if it will work on WM5, I think I have read that it will not, this is my main reason for not moving to WM5 yet... although at the moment while i can't get A2DP working I am not much better off.
How are you finding WM5? Is it reliable enough to compete with WM2003 yet, or is there still a bit of work needed?

It doesn't work under WM5. WM5 has a Microsoft bluetooth stack, this patch does not apply.
WM5 on the BA is quite stable if you have the time to work with it. I am not going back. If somebody comes up with a BT fix for the stand-by problem that does not drain the battery, all of my issues will be fixed.

A2DP on WM5
Thanks for that... I might consider upgrading one evening when I have nothing better to do!
Do you rekon we'll ever see A2DP on the MS bluetooth stack?

Yeah I think so. Apparently it's not out in the wild yet, but w/ BT 1.2, a lot of people will be looking to do more with it.

Did you mean: "the mamaich rom has microsoft bluetooth stack". I really hope we can get WM5 with the same stack I had on w2003. (Broadcom, I think). Maybe it is out there but I can't see it...

I agree. By the moment, I'm very pleased with the performance of WM5 on my BA. It actually runs faster than w2003! And I'm beeing very objective, believe me!
I'm having a big annoyance with writting (sms, word, etc) as the spelling isn't allways what I wrote. On the SMS window, it seems the screen gets redrawn all the time and it loose some words...
The other big is not having A2DP. I think is very frustrating having such a nice machine without a good software that makes all its goodness work! :?
Some delayings on the screen repainting and (I'm using Pocket Informant) slow performance on the everyday tasks as opening the contacts list, or changing toanother program, for example...

looking 4 answers: ad2p & bluetooth & wm5
somebody with an answer to this theme?
WAS: ad2p & bluetooth & wm5
It is somehow possible?
Anybody there? :roll:

Answer is no, not possible yet.
And to the poster above - yes, just need the bluetooth connect issue solved where it drops connection when it goes into stand-by mode. The fix that drains the battery by keeping the unit out of standby mode really isn't a fix for me.
Not that I am complaining - I'm happy to be an early adopter along for the ride..

How do I enable A2DP on my BA??
Hello!!
I have searched the forum many many times and visited wiki, but I could only find 2 threads which is close to what I need to know. This is 1 of them.
I have got Blue Angel:
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.12.00
BT: 3900
This configuration came from the recently rom upgrade from o2.
It seems to me that it's possible to enable A2DP on a BA running on WM2003 SE, which allows me to stream music to a bt headphones??
However I just could not find a thread which has an instruction on how to do it. Not even on wiki. After reading some threads, I came to my own conclusion that I need to upgrade me BT to build 3900 and install a patch??
So this was what I did,
Since my BT is already 3900 "offical" version, thus I didn't do anything to it.
I d/l this file BA_OEM_AudioGW (1.33g.00).CAB (83KB) and ran it on my PPC. I then got the audiogw.dll in my windows folder.
That was all I did. It didn't work of course. I have another file, BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab but didn't use it as I'm already on 3900??
So I was just hoping that someone who has done it and was successful, could point me in the right direction!!! Thanks a lot!!!

anyone tried running both cab loacted at
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...age BT 1.0.0.3900 and audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00/
if it works, do let me know. I currently do not have a bluetooth headphones to test with.

I have Omiz headset (with MP3 and radio FM) and due to work with my Magician I had to manually change some registry entries. Point was that my PDA was not correctly identified as a A2DP device (only HF). I paired my PDA with normal BT dongle with A2DP profile, found registry entries with dongle mac adress and copied manually keys coressponding with a2dp service to folder with my headphones profiles. After all that it was possible to chose headphopnes in BT menager as stereo audio receiver.
Maybe its similar and u should look in registry...

jarekt, can you post those registryvalues please?!

Can't get streaming audio to BT headphones
I still have had no luck with the BA_OEM_AudioGW (1.33g 00) Cab or any registry settings under WM5.

BT a2dp WM5
have you tried the file (.cab) i uploaded in BlueAngel under uploads, it let me pair BT Stereo under wm5. Nevermind I looked someone deleted it dont know why. PM me and i can send if you want, I tried to reupload but Uploads appears broken.

I am on thesame situation of errorist.
My machine is on Broadcom 3900, and I want to make A2DP work.
If anyone can shed a light on how to make it work, I'd be very very grateful.
BTW, I have a Motorola HT820.
UPDATE:
I have installed the 3900 stack + audiogw dll even though I had a factory-installed 3900 stack, and I managed to connect in handsfree mode.
I still have not found out how to connect in A2DP mode though...
Any help is appreciated.

Hi All
I dont know how useful this is going to be, but i spent ages doing research to get my ht820 and my 02 xda 2s working properly, and when i did, i wrote a semi bad guide here
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=2840.0
if its any use i'd be tempted to maybe write it up proper and put in in the wiki, either way, try some of the steps or files ive listed (most of them are from here)
but it gets it working with TCPMP aswell, which is a lot better than WM10 anyhow
good luck

BTW: ivans rom uses the broadcom stack, so the patch may work, however i dont have the headphones to test it with

i've onstalled this two cabs too, but new profile didn't appeared. Bay Be some registry values didn't appied? who did this patch?

SIM Access Profile Cab not work

Helmis Sim Access Profile not work. No Chance...
No Connect with AUDI A4 Bluetooth Premium System .
Without SAP, it´s only possible to connect with Jetware Software and MS Bluetooth Stack (not Widcomm Stack!!), but NO SIM Messages and NO Keypad on Audi-Radio-Screen.
Helmi, any solution or newer version of Sim Access Profile CAB for testing?

PS: Helmi, thanks for your great work!!!

parrot CK3100 and Himalaya

hello,
I would like to buy a Parrot CK3100 (BlueTooth car kit), but I wonder if it works perfectly with Himalay under WM2006. Is the directory correctly and automatically loaded on the Parrot ? Are all the functionnalities of the Parrot working with the Himalaya ?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
regards
Blg

You shouldn't be able to access your contacts through Parrot CK3100.
Sascha

Ok, thanks for your answer. Have you tried the XDA II on the CK3100, or is it just a bet ?
The reason why I a m asking this question is that on a GPS device (Garmin ZUMO), the directory is automatically and correctly loaded (as well as the last received numbers and last dialled numbers). So it seems that the XDA II is able to do it.
Is there someone owning the two devices (XDA II and CK3100) who could confirm the good or bad working ?
By the way, my ROM's version is 7.0c.40CS.
Thanks in advance.

I use CK3000 but I would be surprised if CK3100 could access XDA II contacts.
Sascha

I understand your surprise.
But I was surprised when all my XDA II contacts have been downloaded automatically and without being prompted on my Zumo device.
Seems the WM2006 allows this (at least on my XDA II ))
This is the reason why I am looking for someone owning both CK3100 and XDA II under WM6 !
Blg

Yes, it works!
I have a Qtek 2020 (aka Himalaya) and a Parrot CK3100 Black Edition and it works (almost) perfectly.
When you turn on the ignition the Parrot activates showing the Owner Information, the Network you’re connected (operator), the Signal Strength, the Battery Level and it synchronizes the Contacts, even the ones you have multiple numbers (ex.: Thomas w/; Thomas h/ as in Thomas (work) and Thomas (home)). It even gets the last Received, Dialed and Lost calls (not always). You see an ActiveSync alike symbol from times to times showing the synchronization.
Every time you turn off the ignition (electrical circuit) it clears all information and you´ll have to wait until it synchronizes again after you turn it on.
The only glitch it has is that sometimes (1 in 100), when they «meet», the PDA starts a call to nowhere and the only way to stop it is to reset the PDA (the pen tip in the hole).
Hope this info helps

TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0

Thanks Thomas, your advice as owner of both devices was the one I was looking for !
So, it seems I can buy the Parrot.
Thanks again !

Himalaya & Parrot Ck 3100
Hi gents :
I have both devices (Himalaya & Parrot), and almost everything is running fine.
Parrot and Himalaya synchronize automatically.
Only one thing :when conecting GPS and Parrot, if I let these devices to connect automatically, the phone sound is really bad, I have to cut down bluetooth hans free connection and retry again after few seconds.
Then, everything is OK.
Suggestions are welcome

Hi,
following ThomasScott, I have bought the CK3100. Got it today. I have tried it only few minutes but it seems to run fine. Synchro of directory is OK, and done when Parrot is on.
I will install it definitively tomorrow, and will try to connect both GPS and Parrot, to check if I have the same problem.

first of all:
no problem with KCE-300BT while a2dp after done the registry fix (Value 60). thanks to this forum!
but now there is one problem:
when i want to update my phone-book after pairing, my radio is always displaying "updating" and no more continue.
do you know, if the kaiser has problems using the bluetooth comunication between the KCE-300BT (or other bluetooth adapters) ?
is there a fix/software for this problem??

When they first pair after getting in the car, leave it a few minutes before accessing, this works for me. If I try to access my phonebook straight away I get the same problem.

Hi people! Sorry if i open this thread again. I've got a P750 (instead of Kaiser). Installed jetware and the first time it worked (synchronizing the phonebook to head unit).
But the second time i tried again and it always tells me "updating". Do I need to do other registry entries together with Jetware to enable phonebook?

Looking at buying the new KCE-350BT which is out now (unfortunately still not properly working with Polaris + WM6.0), just wanted to know do i still need to do this registry fix if i'm running Jetware.
Thanks

Tested the KCE-350BT in store and couldn't get it to work even with JetWare. It did download all the contacts at one point, but stuggles to pair every time and doesn't look like it would work very well at all.
Any other programs,registry fixes or ROMs to try? (to convert the OBEX format to PAB in the phone itself)? JetWare is a bit cumbersome having to browse using file explorer, doesn't even create any shortcuts etc.
Thanks in advance.

Bump. just wondering is WM 6.1 any better than 6.0 in terms of getting this to work properly. Working only after making or receiving calls sounds pretty annoying. i didn't find jetware to work at all really.
